The 2013 Orientation Leader and Student Leadership Consultant applications will be available in the spring, beginning in February. Please visit the Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs website in the future for updates. Look out for our 1990's themed advertisements early next semester!

Orientation Leaders (OLs):

The Office of Student Engagement & Multicultural Affairs employs 20 enthusiastic and resourceful students as orientation leaders to assist with summer new student and family orientation. The orientation leader staff will be representative of our diverse undergraduate population. When selecting candidates, we will be looking for a balance of academic year, areas of study, and cultural diversity.

Student Leadership Consultants (SLCs):

Student Leadership Consultants work in conjunction with the Office for Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs to assist with the development, coordination, and implementation of programs and services offered. They serve as ambassadors to the campus community and should represent the vision and values of the Office. Through continuous education and training, Student Leadership Consultants have the opportunity to expand their skills in the areas of customer service, public speaking, marketing, and program development.

"The role of Michelle was credited as being played by "Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen" from seasons two to seven (the duo was only credited in the closing credits in season one, as "Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Fuller Olsen"; though in syndicated reruns, they are also credited in the opening credits as the former) because the show's producers did not want audiences to know that Michelle was played by twins. Ashley's name was made to appear as Mary-Kate's middle name in the titles (the role of Michelle was played by twins because California state law regulates the number of work hours for a young child; therefore it is common for the role of one baby in a TV or film production to be played by twins). In season eight, with the entire opening credit shots revamped for the last time, the Olsen twins were now given special billing in response to the popularity they earned as separate performers over the years. Appearing last in the credits, they were credited as "And Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen as Michelle". Fittingly, Mary-Kate is the twin appearing in the shot, but the girl in the painting is Ashley."
